"Our Little Korean Cousin" by H. Lee M. Pike is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This work offers a glimpse into the culture, customs, and daily life of a young boy named Yung Pak growing up in Korea. Through Yung Pak's eyes, readers are introduced to the traditions, education, and social environments of Korea during a period of significant historical change. The story follows Yung Pak as he navigates his childhood in Seoul, filled with unique experiences that highlight the contrasts between his life and that of children in the West. The narrative portrays his family dynamics, including the importance of respect for elders, the beauty of traditional Korean customs, and the educational practices, such as his private tutoring in history and etiquette. Yung Pak's adventures—ranging from school life and family gatherings to a significant journey to a famous monastery—are intertwined with lessons on Korean history, culture, and values. As he matures, Yung Pak prepares for his "Investiture of the Top-knot," signifying his transition into manhood, ultimately reflecting the deep-rooted customs of his heritage.
